Then he noticed that the latter was alone. “Isn’t Arthur coming tonight?” he . he couldn’t get out,” said the ““New baby at his house.” inquired the trade in the old one.” vou're a bright guy, aren’t demanded the Old Timer, hunt- ing for a place to hang his hat and coat ‘Well,” said the Kid, “they used to call me Sonny. “I guess vou are related to the guy w reading about last night,” de- the Old Timer, shifting some " balls to the lower part of the loop. “He had to wrap his feet up carefully every night so they wouldn't shine in his eyes and keep him awake.” A Mazda on the Alleys. ‘The Kid had gone out to take his shot. “I'm still shining brightly on the ew Kid. “Did he alleys,” he asserted modestly, as he ame back to the bench. *I suppose you noticed that edge shot for a spare.” “I can match it shooting with one hand,” declared the Old Timer. His best, however, was a six-pin box and he didn't improve much as the game went on. “Why did you give up bowling?” asked the Kid finally, when the score sheet registered 97 to 72 in his favor in the ninth box. “Didn’t you like the game?" “I just can't keep my mind on the ducks this evening,” explained the 01d Timer, carefully ignoring the Kid's sarcasm. ‘““We are holding a meeting of our church bowling league tomor- row night and I'm supposed to sug- gest some way to add to the prize fund. We want to put up extra prizes for second division teams during the last half. Some of the teams are so far behind now that they cannot get into the money already up."” “Start a literary soclety,” suggested the Kid. The Old Timer was so startled he threw the ball into the gutter with- out dropping a single pin—or, rather, that is the reason he gave. WITH THE Play last week in the Odd Fellows’ League started with Mount Pleasant, Langdon and Golden Rule all tied in games worn and lost, the former lead- ing by virtue of total pins. However, Mount Pleasant stepped out to win three games, while Langdon lost one and Golden Rule two, giving the Mounts undisputed possession of first position. Mount Nebo was the victim of a vicious attack by Mount Pleasant, ‘which had a set total of 1,638, beating the former high team set held by it by 20 pins. Mount Pleasant also in- creased its high team game from 566 to 570. Logan led the pack with 349, C. F. Groft totaled 339; Werner, 329; C. H. Groff, 313, and McFall, 308. Langdon defeated Arlington in the odd game, with Crutchley and Gordon doing the brunt of the work for their respective quints. Both teams, how- ever, were below par. Magenenu pulled a surprise party by taking the strong Golden Rule quint into camp in two of three games. Baker, lead-off man for the Encamp- ment team, registered the best three- game total, with 321. Bill Pumphrey tried hard to pull Golden Rule across, but-did not receive enough support. Pumphrey’s total was 320. ‘The Harmony-Covenant match pro- duced some good bowling, both teams hitting above their usual stride. Mor- gan of Harmony was the best individ- ual performer of the week, turning in games of 133, 122 and 123, for a 378 set, just five pins below high set held by Sislen. Despite a nice set of 332 turned in by John Harville, his team—Fred D. Stuart—was able to win but a single game from Washington. Though no large scores were recorded, Washing- ton rolled well as a team, with Barney Hager leading the way. Having suffered a triple loss the last time out, Canton stacked up against Loyalty. bent on revenge, which it se- 5 cured, easily winning the three games. Sterling Chamberlin and Roscoe Wines led the offensive and were ably sup- ported. Eastern won the odd game from Brightwood No. 1. A game of 134 by Barrett in his first contest prevented Brightwood from losing the entire set. Brightwood No. 2 lost the entire set to Columb After winning the roll- off of a tie in the first game, Columbia had things its own way. Amity struck a reversal of form and won two games from Central. Both teams rolled unusually well, with P. Ellett's game of 150 and set of 365 being high for Amity. DISTRICT LEAGUE. Team Standing. Convention Hall .

Laugh that off!” iive me the blue prints,” urged the 01d_Timer, becoming interested “Why,” explained the Kid, “We just started a Shakespeare and Browning circle for the club, to include mem- bers and their families. We had a meeting every week and the local teacher and other highbrows came around and lectured.” “Good night,” said the Old Timer, throwing up his hands. “I'd never be able to get any of my bunch to pay admission to Shakespeare or Brown- ing talks." “Who said anything about paying 2dmission?” demanded the Kid. “Am I describing this thing; or are you?" “No admissions? Then where does the money come from?” “That's what I was trying to ex- plain when you chipped in and decided to tell the story yourself. That's the trouble with your bowling—trying to hit both corner pins with the same ball_instead of concentrating on the headpin.” “Help!” crled the Old Timer, through—It's your monologue.” How the Racket Worked. “Well,” said the Kid,” we organized this circle as I have explained and charged no admission. That's how we got the teachers to lecture free. But we shot in a joker; we slipped over a rule fining members 25 cents for non- attendance.” “I see!” exclaimed the Old Timer. “And anybody would rather pay 25 cents than listen to a talk on Brown- ing or Shakespeare.” “‘Sure,” agreed the Kid. *“And yet they were ashamed to quit the circle and sort of admit that they were low- brows and did not want to improve their minds. Sometimes we got the wives out, but we could nearly alway count on 25 cents fine from the hus- band and sons.” “Kid,” said the Old Timer, reaching out his hand, “my bowling league doesn’t know it yet, but it's going to have a Browning Circle.” BOWLERS game. These matches also saw Jack Whalen's average dropped to a little more than 120 to permit Freddy Moore of Meyer Davis to take the lead with slightly better than 121. The other matches last week saw Arcadia and Curb Cafe take two games_each from G. P. O. and Cor- nell's Lunch, while Stanford made a clean sweep against Meyer Davis. ‘I'm AHEPA LEAGUE.
